The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the Virtual Rugby Pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing picture of newly crowned IRB World Player of the year Thierry Dusautoir.


So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

I did alright MrsP. My first few months of the season were very very tame with most matches having few penalties and none had a card. Since Halloween its been much more intense I've had 3 reds and 3 yellows in my last 4 games and now have had two serious injuries to players in the last two matches. I think it will be like this until the Christmas break.

I went over on my ankle early in todays game and its sore now. I'll take the next 2 weekends off refereeing as I'll have uni committments.

You are reffing in Limerick so a fair few punch ups are to be expected!

Just saw your boss at the Toulouse game Stag. Has his kids with him.

Yea think he has three of them. He's over in Limerick next weekend actually.

I certainly am Thomond - though its Tipperary thats the toughest to ref in.

Really enjoying this game, toulouse lead 11-10 after 63 mins

Prop will be fairly happy. Tou 11-10 Glo. 63 mins. Toulouse turning the screw now though.

Stag why can't Ulster win at Clermont? Surely we have astounded you enough times in the past couple of years. You didn't think we could win away at Bathvthe last two years. If I remember right you didn't think we could beat Biaritz at Ravenhill last year. Iknow you hoped we would win yesterday but I don't think you actually thought we would. So I hope we keep on astounding you starting at Welford Road next week.

Writing all my red card reports is a pain in the hole.

Then stop sending people off!

Try Glaws. Super score

Gloucester try acnd converted 17-14 Gloucester with 8 to go

Wow Try Toulouse


Superb offloading in the build up

Mon Glaws! Toulouse will make it out of the pool anyway.

My first reactio is that was forward

Killer on the counter. Fantastic try Toulouse. What hands!

Just off a Glaws hand. Good decision. Fit gibbon has had a good game.

Oh just seen the replay, forward pass from toulouse, shouldnt have counted

I'm watching fuzzy penguins sloshing about in the mud on telly.

Hope to see Gloucester win it!!! Come on cherries!!

Ball looked forward for the last pass. Think it came off a Glaws player.

Toulouse are just a joy to watch when they move the ball around like that. In fairness, Glaws are pretty good at it too. 21-17. 5 mins left.

I love that mud wrestling. Not sure if I've watched penguins do it though.

Anyone else think penguins have been getting far too much exposure on telly recently?

Very strange end to that, made me feel dirty on the inside

Ha Rava - they're on the Frozen Planet programme. It'd be quite difficult to do a programme on the polar regions without them.

Cad a tharla Hughie

Gloucester had a scrum in their half, few passes ,taken from the breakdown and Gloucester kick it out if play. Where's the ambition??

Glaws took their LBP. I think they did the right thing. That group is interesting. Love to see Connacht beat Toulouse in a wet & windy Galway.

Brilliant programme. Polar Bears are amazing. The killer whales as well.

Yeah it's a beatiful landscape too. You can go to these places for trips but it costs about £5/6'000. If I had the money I would...

Luke Burgess is a great player. Toulouse only take the best.

Gibbo he looked like he had been playing in that team for yonks. Great enthusiasm.

I'm watching We Were Soldiers. One of the best ever war films and probably Mel Gibsons best performance.

Hoi Cari. yeah. Wont see the North or South Poles unless I win the lorro. But, I want to get to Iceland for the aurora borealis. Apparently, this is the best time to see em in 50 years. Clear, really active and go on for ages. Beginning now and peaking in March. Be a nice birthday pressie. Best Light Show on the Planet.

HC Highlights on SKY Sports 1 @ 20:00 GMT.

All right Gibbo

Iceland's supposed to be a nice country to visit anyway, but the Northern Lights would be amazing to see.

Yeah Cari. Like yersel, there are few things I really want to see/do in my life yet. Northern Lights is one, the Barrier Reef being another. Thats coming up.

Ice-Diving in Antarctica. Yeah.

Evening all....GUTTED I think sums it up!! Cheers Hoog for the updates however....Glos (written off by many) go into the cauldron and take away a point

Rally duty was boring...got a few photos but just a pointless event (the castle made it seem so small, should have done it down the bay).

Prop. Did you get all my texts man? Hope it was the right phone number...

I didn't get any sorry gibbo!! Just looked at the number i p.m'd you and it is right!!

Jebus I sent about 10. Never got a reply so was wondering. Its the same number. Maybe Wales has a slow message server... ;-)

Or some person thinks some looney is sending him/her cryptic scores...

Ten messages in one night? Even I don't get that...must've been important.

It's glawster Cari!! Obviously it's important....guess i may receive them late at night or something?

Oh that'll be why...I'm an O's supporter and no one likes them

Prop, I have a question, how did you end up supporting Gloucester? You are Welsh aren't you?

Evening everyone , hope your all well :guinness

Not everyone supports the side from the places they're from and/or were born in. Lots of people have different reasons for affiliating with a team.

Sorry...evening Kenny

Exactly...I lived near gloucester since i was 7 and started playing my rugby there.

Right, that explains it. I find it pretty strange to affiliate with a team unless I'm from the area, or have deep ties to it can understand people who do though.

Hey Kenny, I think there's league on Sky Sports right now if you're interested. Go to the links I sent you and you should be sorted.

Thomond - I suppose that view is natural in Ireland. Like with the Gaelic sports people support their local club to county...I wonder if it's the same with rugby over there? Also, the regions in Wales only formed in 2003.

Yes i have got the game on now thanks Thomond , had problems with my web connection but it seems ok now slight delay so i heard the Aus try on the radio before they scored on the screen

You wouldn't find a Leinster fan from Cork. I know the regions formed and some people oppose them but I thought people interested in rugby near Neath or Swansea would support the Os for example.
